Quercus texana Buckley, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 1860:444 View in CoL . 1860 [1861]; M.J. Young, Familiar Lessons Bot. 507. 1873 (“ Q.Texana, Buckley ”).

TYPE: U.S.A. Texas. Liberty Co.: 1 mi W of Romayor along Texas State Hwy 105, ca. 0.5 mi W of the Trinity River , 22 Oct 1983, K.C.Nixon & P.Phillips 4063 [ NEOTYPE, designated by Dorr & Nixon (1985: 220): TEX ( TEX00370442 )! ].

It is unclear why Tropicos (2021) considers “ Quercus texana M.J. Young ” to be a later homonym of Quercus texana Buckley , especially as the name is clearly attributed to Buckley in Young’s (1873) flora. Her statement (“Hills in the vicinity of Austin”) suggests that she (or Buckley) was, however, misapplying this name to what is known now as Q. buckleyi Nixon & Dorr. The reasons why she (or Buckley) did this are discussed at length in Dorr and Nixon (1985).
